The Best Folk Horror Movies That Will Scare The Folk Out Of You
Good folk horror movies blend folklore, religion, nature, rituals, and rural settings to create a sense of enduring dread and fear in the audience. You might get a few jump scares but you're most likely to experience a slow burn horror film with these movies. The Witch is a prime example of a folk horror movie that establishes the lore that is very much a part of the characters' daily lives and it builds to deliver an ending that is both unsettling and ominous. The Wicker Man is a classic example of folk horror that also relies on the strength of its desolate and rural setting to keep the audience glued to the screen until the satisfying and horrifying ending. Now it's time to determine the best folk horror movie of all time.
Vote up your favorite scary folk films and vote down the ones that you think other fans should skip. Then be sure to check back as new and upcoming folk horror movies are added to the list.
Hereditary offers no grim fairy tale or iconic folklore to help instill its terror, instead, it uses elements of isolation, morality, and religion to tell this woeful tale of grief and depression. With a seemingly invisible and unknowable danger consistently looming in the distance and a slow and heart-wrenching dismantling of familial trust, audiences bear witness to a complete and utter dismantling of the human psyche.
Actors: Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, Ann Dowd, Milly Shapiro
A seemingly normal and adventurous hike through the Kungsleden trails of Sweden is but the facade of a frightening and sinister tale The Ritual tells. This tale following a group of 4 friends who decide to go on an adventure only becomes more and more grim as time goes forth. A sunny and exciting 1st act becomes overwrought with imagery of dead animals, ominous symbols carved into trees, and the unnerving feeling that they aren't alone in the woods.
Actors: Rafe Spall, Rob James-Collier, Arsher Ali, Sam Troughton, Paul Reid
Whisking audiences away to the early 1900s, Apostle is a melancholic slow burn that is as gorgeous as it is sinister. Juxtaposing sadistic devotion with Pagan horror, this cult horror experience in the midst of a Christian missionary will undoubtedly shock audiences to their very core. Overwrought with religious beliefs, imagery, questioning, and ideology, the film is a masterful example of folklore for a more modern setting.
Actors: Dan Stevens, Lucy Boynton, Michael Sheen, Kristine Froseth, Mark Lewis Jones
The breathtaking beauty of a Swedish midsummer festival disguises the disgusting and dreadful events that unfold throughout Midsommar. This folk-cult tale beautifully traverses the ideology of heartache and grief, all the while showcasing the manipulation and exploitation of those in their weakest moments. Shocking and mind-altering imagery mirrored by wholesome and seemingly heartfelt messages makes the audiences feel as though they are being misguided and brought into this horrifying cult.
Actors: Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, Vilhelm Blomgren, William Jackson Harper
